In yesterday's U.S. currency trading, the Canadian dollar fell against the yen. The CAD/JPY pair dropped from 112.720 to 112.288. Price action remained confined to the area around the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart. On the 4-hour chart, prices have stalled near the support level provided by the 75-period MA, while on the daily chart, the pair has broken below the 10-period MA—which had previously provided support—and the RSI is currently pulling back after touching the 70 level.
Among European currencies, the euro fell against the U.S. dollar.The euro traded between 1.1803 and 1.1734 against the US dollar. It fell from the +3σ to the -2σ levels on the hourly Bollinger Bands. On the 4-hour chart, the RSI has dropped from 72 to 46, and on the daily chart, it has plummeted from the high levels seen since September of this year. Furthermore, as it has continued to test lower levels during today’s Asian session, we should watch for further weakness in the euro during the European session.
